Hardy Perennial Phlox 
No garden is complete without perennial Phlox. The color range is so large, the colors so bright, and the 
period of blooming so long that every garden should contain a good planting. 
Plants begin to bloom in late June, and with proper treatment, continuous bloom may be expected until 
frost comes. 
Water heavily during dry spells. The flowers should not be allowed to go to seed. Cut the first flower 
spikes when they are in full bloom and use for home decoration. Or, if left longer on the plant, they should 
be cut as soon as the blooms fade. In this way a second setting of bloom will come on and thus the season 
will be prolonged. 
This plant likes a well enriched soil and a sunny, well drained location. Fall planting can be made from the 
first of September until the ground freezes. Phlox can also be planted in the spring. 

How To Plant 
Plant so that the crown is just beneath the surface and use plenty of water when planting if the ground 
is at all dry. If the soil is dry as winter approaches, stir the ground well about the plants and cover with 
a good coarse mulch, but do not use leaves as they often smother the plants. 

STANDARD LIST 
Our list of standard Phlox is made up of sorts we have tested for many years and have chosen the very best 
of the larger number of older varieties that are offered for sale. 
Many people like to plant their Phlox in groups of three or more of a kind. Some prefer entire beds 
made up of one kind. 
AFRICA. Brilliant carmine-red with deep blood-red eye. The large, 
nicely formed florets are gathered into a large shapely truss of in- 
tense richness. Almost a black-red. 
APOLLO. A tall, sturdy growing Phlox in a soft shade of rich red, 
covered with a bright scarlet sheen. 
AURORA. Florets large, bright pink with rays of white from the light 
carmine center, the large panicles of flowers reflecting a salmon-pink 
effect. Growth of plant strong and healthy and of medium height. 
B. COMTE. One of the richest of all dark colored Phlox. A rich satiny 
deep red-purple. Hard to find anything better in its color. One of 
the very darkest and richest in the red shades. 
BETTY LOU. Bright orange-scarlet with claret center; medium height, 
with many lateral branches affording a long season of bloom, A beau- 
tiful soft pink with very large beautifully formed florets. 
CHIEFTAIN. The color is deep red without violet or purple shadings 
and holds its color under adverse weather conditions. A strong 
grower of medium height. A Phlox that everybody likes. The color 
is very intense and still very pleasing. 
COMUS. Clear pink, overlaid bright orange-scarlet; florets large; me- 
dium height, the plant being well branched from the ground. This 
new variety is similar in habit to Jules Sandeau, blooming somewhat 
later in season and more attractive in color. 
DAILY SKETCH. It is the most distinct new Phlox we have seen in 
many years. The plant is tall, the individual flower very large. The 
color is a light salmon-pink with a very large and very noticeable 
carmine eye. Surely an outstanding new variety. 
_ DEBS. This is a mediam deep red. We have had this variety blooming 
on our grounds in quantity and consider it one of the finest reds we 
have ever carried. 
DR. CHAS. MAYO. Another Phlox somewhat similar to Count Zeppe- 
lin and yet entirely distinct. A very strong grower. One of the late 
W. E. Fryer’s best Phlox. Very little subject to troubles that beset 
the Phlox. 
ETHEL PRITCHARD. A French mauve in color. If seen on a cloudy 
day it looks like our native blue Phlox. Good blue has been hard to 
get in the Phlox, but Ethel Pritchard is a good light blue. 
EUROPA. Of all the Phlox of this type, no variety is better than 
Europa. Immense blooms. Pure white with a great large red center. 
FEUERBRAND. A splendid red Phlox. Good plant and a very profuse 
bloomer. Very bright dark red-crimson. One of the most brilliant 
of all reds. 
We prepay all orders —

to $1.00 or more. 
Allow 25c extra on 
smaller orders.
